A 38-year old legal battle over the historic Khetri Estate in Rajasthan’s Khetri came to a conclusion in the Supreme Court in favour of the trust. But the Rajasthan government refuses to comply with the order.

A story missing from headlines for decades. For forty years, the Rajasthan government kept assets worth thousands of crores belonging to the #KhetriTrust. The Supreme Court ruled this illegal in September 2025, yet the state has still not taken action.

In a country founded on the premise that the State is limited by law, this case shows what happens when political authority and bureaucracy align to place themselves above the Constitution.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court has quashed the 1987 escheat case filed by the State of Rajasthan to claim the historic Khetri Estate — bringing an end to a decades-long legal battle.
37 years. 208 properties. A Supreme Court verdict.
The Rajasthan govt STILL refuses to hand over the Khetri Trust’s estate. Historic palaces looted, orders ignored.
The Trust has filed a fresh contempt petition.
Despite the clear verdict, the Rajasthan government has yet to hand over the properties, raising serious questions about governance and adherence to the rule of law.
This is more than a legal victory—it’s a battle for justice, transparency, and the fulfillment of a visionary philanthropist’s dream.

A Last Testament is the voice of the departed, entrusting the living with the sacred duty of a lifetime’s legacy — yet when the State betrays this trust, as in the case of Raja Sardar Singh whose wealth meant for charity was plundered, it robs not only his heirs but the very soul of the nation.

“This case is the sordid story of State power and corruption — a tale written in the ruins of magnificent heritage buildings neglected, in the vaults and chambers of Khetri broken open to loot its treasures, all under the illegal shadow of the Escheats Act. For thirty-seven years there was no accountability, no shame, not even a trace of remorse — until the final day in the Honourable Supreme Court, when the Additional Solicitor General of India was told that the State had no right, no locus, not even the privilege to speak. The Government of Rajasthan left the Court unheard, its lawyers reduced to pleading in vain for a voice they never possessed," says Shri Prithvi Raj Singh Ji, Managing Trustee of Khetri Trust

“वे फाइलें किन शब्दों से भरी गईं, और किसने उन पर हस्ताक्षर करके अन्याय को वैध ठहराया? किस मजबूरी ने राज्य को 37 वर्षों तक कानून की धज्जियाँ उड़ाते हुए मुक़दमेबाज़ी करने पर मजबूर किया, जबकि हर आती-जाती सरकार ने चुप्पी साध ली? पिछले 37 वर्षों में से 17 वर्ष मैंने इस मुकदमे को लड़ा है और इन प्रश्नों से मैं स्वयं स्तब्ध और व्याकुल रहा हूँ। यह केवल एक मामले की नहीं, बल्कि शासन और जवाबदेही की पूरी व्यवस्था की विफलता है — और जब सब कुछ असफल हो गया, तब कम से कम हमारे सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने न्याय दिया।” says Managing Trustee of Khetri Trust, Shri Prithvi Raj Singh Ji.
